"Look, it's really simple. There are thousands more kids playing lacrosse. And until something changes on the Division I men's lacrosse level, there are going to be 54 teams and there are more kids fitting into the same amount of spots.

"If you look at the mental aspect of these upsets that have happened, it's usually about one team, even if they're not a great team, not believing that they could lose that day.

"It's as simple as that. These kids are talented enough to win. And I think the other team isn't smart enough to believe the other team can beat them."
